Don't Die
Adam Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’m tired of talking to the mic
Tired of sitting in my room alone at night
I don’t want anymore love
Not even fake
Not going on anymore expensive dates
I guess this is my fate
Signed and sealed
What’s the deal
Hate how this feels
Wish it wasn’t real
You don’t care
Never will
Your words kill
Miss the thrill
Of your presence
Packaged up my love
Like a present
Your heart stone
Cement
Threw it out
Sent it to the trash
Not spending another cent
I’m burning ash
You ran away dashed
Spent all my cash
Driving fast
Can I last
In a flash
On the ground
Then in a gown
Doc asks if I’m okay
I say unfortunately
Mom sighs starts to cry
Says “Why do you want to die”
I don’t wanna die
I just wanna feel peace
I just wanna feel whole
I don’t wanna die
Just wanna feel peace
I just wanna feel whole
I know what it’s like to die
Used to wake up on the floor
Mom would always cry
Never knowing if this was the time
Would we get a good bye
Happened a few hundred times
At home at school at the store
Body was bruised
Mind was sore
Hard to remember life before
Used to be able to snore
But not anymore
What was it all for
Hard times
Make stronger people
Pressure make diamonds
Hearts a gem
It stays shining
But no one pays attention
Seizures taught me a lesson
Tomorrow isn’t promised
That’s the message
I want you to get
From my music
We’re all human
We all die
So let’s try
To make today the best it can be
Face your problems
Don’t flee
Then your goals you can reach
I don’t wanna die
I just wanna feel peace
I just wanna feel whole
I don’t wanna die
Just wanna feel peace
I just wanna feel whole
I don’t wanna die
I just wanna feel peace
I just wanna feel whole
Life is a bitch but she’s mine
Shout out Dom
Rip nip
He set a great example
Kept only real ones around
Started a movement in his town
That’s what I’m tryna do in mine
Keeping only the best at my side
Loyalty is a must
Thank you Damian
Always bringing the vibes
Thank you Jose
For being there everyday
Not letting me go astray
Thank you Alex
For giving me the time of day
Thank you UAV
For seeing potential in me
Thank you Lauren
For always saying what needs to be said
Thank you Emma
For listening to all the dilemmas in my head
Love our late night phone calls
Wish I could stall so they’d never have to end
You guys give me purpose
It’s because of you all that I
I don’t wanna die
I just wanna feel peace
I just wanna feel whole
I don’t wanna die




Just wanna feel peace
I just wanna feel whole

Magic film. So I watched it first time and thought it’s an “ok” movie. Since then I seen it about 5 times and Adam Driver honestly makes me laugh in pain. So oblivious and casual it’s just brilliant. This will end up a classic in years to come. Watch it then watch it again. Look at all the little bits in between words. The silence timing is perfection. There’s a scene when he tells Murray it’s Zombies and is asked “Zombies? Really ?” Driver pauses for ages and just says “yep” hahah. It’s just so funny man

@gabbyfromchina

totally agree!!!!!

@scottsparkman5628

Adam Driver and Bill Murray saved this mock zombie film. The rest of the narratives were abstract, jarring to follow, and had convoluted/confusing end scenes. But the dialogue between Adam and Bill was comedic gold. Thanks guys!

@anthonyzullo

I didnt think I'd love bill more, but then starring with Adam driver playing his awkward character in a mock zombie movie was just gold. Low budget, hilarious, stupid and just a fun 90 minute ride. I saw this movie with mt brother who's name is Ronnie. "God damnit ronnie!" Is said quite a lot now.

@michaelwilhelm157

I had not considered that but, yeah they're the only reason I enjoyed any part of this film

@jcdova29

I love Bill Murray. If the world was under any threat we should be thankful we have Bill Murray to get us through it.

@sclogse1

Really. Bernie should hire him for V.P. Maybe then things wouldn't......end badly.

@Edwenthewolfxx

“What can I say the world has been acting strange” so relatable -2021

@SuperEholmes

Even more so now. Jesus is coming soon.

@dorianchriste8645

Cliff is my favorite. He only got the script for his scenes... too funny. Love the way Bill played Cliff!
